| contents | We consider the Einstein-Cartan theory with the tetrad $e_μ^{a}$ and spin connection $ω_{μab}$ taken as being independent fields. Diffeomorphism invariance and local Lorentz invariance result in there being two distinct gauge transformations in this approach, and consequently two ghost fields arise when employing the usual Faddeev-Popov quantization procedure. Our choice of gauge fixing retains the gauge invariances of the background field. We show that the gauge algebra is closed even in the presence of torsion, and the resulting BRST invariance can be found for the effective action. We also derive the Slavnov-Taylor identities, which reflect the BRST symmetries of this theory. |
